SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 1, 2001

PureCarbon, Inc., developer of award-winning software which powers the employment section of corporate Web sites, today announced an agreement with eQuest, the nation's fastest growing job posting aggregator, to integrate eQuest's job posting management system into its JobPlanet product.

The arrangement allows PureCarbon's customers to access and post jobs through eQuest's vast job posting network while gaining important statistical information on candidate traffic patterns.

JobPlanet is a hosted Internet application that adds an interactive recruiting section to an existing corporate Web site, helping companies attract, identify, hire and retain top talent. With the addition of eQuest's candidate source tracking and reporting system, detailed candidate information can be gathered at the beginning of the applicant's process to further enhance PureCarbon's already robust product offering.

"It is our desire to continue to offer PureCarbon customers tools that enable them to continue to drive candidates back to their corporate employment Web sites," said Michael McNeal, PureCarbon's chief industry evangelist. "eQuest will enable us to provide our customers with first-class posting services."

"eQuest continues to be the integration application of choice when companies require more than just a job distribution service," says Don Darrah, COO of eQuest. "Our products give our partners a wide range of job-posting management tools that help users not only post their open positions to our network of Web sites but to better strategize their Internet employment strategies."

PureCarbon will begin to offer eQuest's services as a complement to JobPlanet beginning this summer.
